Dear Education Students:

I hope this finds you well along with everything you are moving through right now.

Since the disaster in Newtown, Connecticut, I have been thinking of you: your love of children and youth, your involvement with schools, your dedication to teaching and learning, and your faith in people, progress, and change, your families.

If classes were still in session, groups of us could count on gathering in different sub-communities of our Program to mourn, reflect, and be together.

I thought to share some links (below) that I have found useful in thinking through addressing the tragedy and other violent loss with kids.

If you have other resources to share, please send them along. We could create a page about this on the Ed Program website, and also gather ideas for future incorporation in courses.

If you would be interested in joining together after break with other Ed Program folks to reflect and explore about this issue, please let me know.
